Please fix the structure for the third straight week I go to re enter and it ends because a stalling sniper registers before i can re enter

So again after starting the ****ing mtt being one of the ones make it so it fires i cant re enter after losing with AA23 double suited

Please whoever is in charge fix this! 10k in my account cant rebuy with 3 levels left

glitch bitching to get in at last minute and end mtt and get min cash before even playing a hand


What kind of network lets this keep going look at the history and make the changes needed 88$ hs getting snipped every week

The mtt guy is doing customer service calls and things like this never get taken care of

Yep, last I checked the structure was awful.

This is the first i have heard of this issue on this tournament.

FWIW everything like this gets taken care of but i try and concentrate on tournies that overlay not ones that dont!

I think I mentioned it at least once, but from what I remember it was getting lots of players right come in right near the bubble at the end of late registration, when the blinds were very large. I Haven't checked back to see it it was adjusted, so I could be wrong, but it seems to be what the OP is talking about, as well. Or rather, that registration ended because it got down to the payouts before registration was supposed to close.

Yeh i got that from the comment. I wasnt aware in this tournament of that happening.

If its true then i will make the payout steeper so this cant happen

Im sorry this tilted me big time

Could you please look into doing something to prevent how there are a select few games that can be ***** glitched

From what i see you do more then anyone but are spread out thin sometimes

There is nothing more annoying then being one of the players that helps fire the games off from the start. To have a hand that you can not fold late and be more then willing to re enter but cant because some sniper takes advantage of the structure registers and it ends

Im sorry winning you do a great job but there are a handful of snipers that are ruining the game flow on some of these games

I usually reg 1-2 use bullets if i need to and its not okay to start it contribute 3-4 80$ bullets and not be allowed back in with 2-3 levels left in reg

I had AA23 double suited in pl08 and I said im going to lose and not be able to rebuy but i called anyway

I want to win not sit threw a tank fest of desperate min cashers

Pretty strange thing, it was like 2 or 3 levels levels left, then few minutes after late reg ended and we were ITM...

So funny your the one that crippled me before I busted. Happy to lose my chips regular who plays everyday

I just think its crap that i have played a dozen or so games where i do not have a chance to continue

Tilts me that some of the snipers can min cash without playing a single hand on a high stake promo game

No only min cash but make final tables and sometimes win

This happened before awhile back when the HS day was new and you fixed it by making it steeper, but it really killed the total number of entries in it iirc...almost to the point where it struggled to hit the gtd. I think a software update or something may have caused it to revert to the old payouts sometime in the past few months, I first noticed it again around a month ago and forgot to mention it.

Tbh the real problem is the 6-max plo8 format, try changing it to 9-max and leave the payout structure the same. I'd def expect to see better results overall by going to 9-max.

Nvm now that I remember a bit clearer lol, that might have been the $66 plo8 6-max that was replaced by this $88 a short time later. That would also explain why the structure reverted back to normal payouts too.

Rather than start a new thread, I'm posting here. Playing the 109 NLO8.

Registration ended up with 27 spots paid and 32 players left. 118 total entries. (And I think 6bb if you late register.)

Please reduce the number of places paid, slow down the blinds, or both. Even if you have to lower the GTD pool to 8k, it'd be better MTT for it. As it stands it gives heavy inventive for people to enter last minute and not before, which is bad for the game, and bad for the players who start the MTT.

Its the same with almost every 33 and 44$

Just start it normally, try to run up a decent stack(this is where the real incentive is imho), then re-enter sometime during the last few levels if you bust. The current payout/blind structure isn't nearly as bad as long as it's 8 or 9-max. Reducing the number of entries paid will hurt the prize pool and chances of it having an overlay will go up by a lot. Leaving this mtt as it is would be best for the game tbh, the bigger the prize pool the more attention it will get from players.

The same will be true for the HS plo8 mtt, reducing the number of places paid will hurt the prize pool. To get the highest # of entries, leave the payout/blinds the same and change it to 8 or 9-max. 9 is prolly best, but 8 kinda fits well with o8 and the $88 buy-in...I'm kinda split on that one so TD or someone else can decide that. If we could eventually get it up to an $8888 GTD that would be pretty sweet

Lol...so I'm playing this week's 88 right now and once we got past the minimum of 6 a few actually unregistered and are waiting to late reg at last minute to abuse the structure. So the rest of us are playing regfest plo8 3-handed for idk how long now, the max it'll get to will be 4-handed for most of late reg.

Something really needs to be done to make entering earlier a bit more enticing, without killing off the prize pool. Whoever requested 6-max hasn't been helping to start these and making sure they run every week. As it stands now, almost nobody wants to bite the bullet and get it started...they just want to late reg at the right time and get itm without playing a hand or at max an orbit or two.

I'm kinda getting tired of losing value to this (losing $$$ for issues that are out of my control and within the site's control isn't cool at all - people got full refunds for some issues less severe tbh) and I'm fairly sure the other omaha regs are too because it's not even had enough to start a few weeks lately. 6-max plo8 leads to this kind of stuff, I've said it plenty of times...pretty much the only time 6-max works well in the long-term for o8 is for hyper-turbo nlo8 with low-ish buyins. Plz not for our only o8 HS event lol, come on man.

Will make it 8 max next week

sweet, I guess now it's on us to grind that prize pool up to $8888 eventually

Please change the levels to 15 minutes too, as you mentioned earlier to me.

I will not play early in a structure which literally punishes you for playing early.

People can just enter last minute and try to stall into the money, entering in with 5 big blinds. It's just bad for the game. Way worse than lowering the prize pool a little bit. So I'd suggest fixing the payouts.... I mean who actually wants to cash in a an 88 dollar MTT for 118 dollars (today's 88 dollar MTT) anyway? Pay out 12%, 15 MAX, not 20% of players average, and the problem is basically fixed right there.

But if that's absolutely off the table, you can do the other things mentioned. Make it 8-max. Change the levels to 15 minutes. Add a few more levels. Make sure there are 10k starting stacks.

Personally, I think the first solution would work better than the latter, but leaving them the way they are is just making for bad games.

Yeah 10k stacks would be nice for it, especially since it's one of the biggest buy-in mtts for o8. If it's 15 min levels then it would be 5 hours of late reg, which I wouldn't mind but others might. I could see it easily clearing an 8k GTD or so then, to match the 8's theme that TD has going. 5-hour late reg isn't bad at all as long as the blind structure is good...but that's sort of a whole different topic lol

Let's try to save changing the payout % as a last resort since it hurt the prize pools pretty badly for the old $66 6-max plo8 when we tried it the last time. As long as the blind structure is set up properly, stalling into the money won't happen often enough to matter.

It's still showing as 6-max, but I can understand though as it's been a pretty busy week for you guys with the site issues and doing all of the bug fixes.

You are 100% right... its been a horrible week..

Promise for next week it will be done!
